Let F=P/QF=P / Q be a rational function, where degQdegP+2\operatorname{deg} Q \geqslant \operatorname{deg} P+2 and QQ has no real zeros. Using the calculus of residues, write a general expression for

F(x)eixdx\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} F(x) e^{i x} d x

in terms of residues and briefly sketch its proof.

Evaluate explicitly the integral

cosx4+x4dx\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{\cos x}{4+x^{4}} d x
